cpu(s) into the kernel, and sync-ing them up to "kernel" mode so we can
send them ipis, which also work.
Thanks to John Baldwin for providing me with access to the hardware
that made this possible.

Call critical_enter/critical_exit around (fast) interrupt handlers. All
non-threaded interrupts are fast, and the threaded interrupt scheduler is
itself a fast interrupt.
Assert that an interrupt handler we are about to call is non-zero.
Be paranoid about restoring the users global registers. Do it as the
last thing before switching to alternate globals (when we magically get
our preloaded registers back), and do it with interrupts disabled. Any
kind of kernel trap when the globals are not setup properly is bad news.
Don't save and restore the kernel g6, it invariably points to the current
pcb now.
data word in an interrupt packet is non-zero, it points to code to execute
to handle the ipi, so jump to it instead of enqueueing the packet. It
is unclear if we will need queued ipis.
Interrupt g7 now points to pcpu, instead of to the per-cpu interrupt queue
itself, so use that instead. Interrupt g6 is no longer reserved.
parameters needed for smp support.
If we are not the boot processor, jump to the smp startup code instead.
Implement a per-cpu panic stack, which is used for bootstrapping both
primary and secondary processors and during faults on the kernel stack.
Arrange the per-cpu page like the pcb, with the struct pcpu at the end
of the page and the panic stack before it.
Use the boot processor's panic stack for calling sparc64_init.
Split the code to set preloaded global registers and to map the kernel
tsb out into functions, which non-boot processors can call.
Allocate the kstack for thread0 dynamically in pmap_bootstrap, and give
it a guard page too.
to the current pcb.
Remove interrupt global defines; they use PCPU_REG now.
Move ATOMIC_INC_INT here from exception.s, add ATOMIC_DEC_INT.
Add a KASSERT macro for use in assembler.
substantial fraction of the number of entries of tte's in the tsb
would need to be looked up, traverse the tsb instead. This is crucial
in some places, e.g. when swapping out a process, where a certain
pmap_remove() call would take very long time to complete without this.
2. Implement pmap_qenter_flags(), which will become used later
3. Reactivate the instruction cache flush done when mapping as executable.
This is required e.g. when executing files via NFS, but is known to
cause problems on UltraSPARC-IIe CPU's. If you have such a CPU, you
will need to comment this call out for now.

struct ofw_nexus_reg. Implement UPA device memory management in the
nexus driver.
Adapt the psycho driver to these changes, and do some minor cleanup work
while being there.
for certain user pages, stores to kernel pages would not update the
affected cache lines, which would sometimes cause the wrong data to be
returned for loads from kernel pages. This was especially fatal when
the addresses affected held the kernel stack pointer, and a random
value was loaded into it.
Fix a harmless off by one error in a dcache_inval_phys call.
Fix a potential race in setting up the per-cpu pointer if the special
restore fails on return to user mode fails and we need to trap back
into the kernel to fault in more stack.
Remove debug code.
an efficient way for the kernel to bounce certain mundane traps back to
userland for handling there. A user trap handler returns directly to the
trapping user code, rather than going through the kernel again. Only a
handful of instructions are actually executed in kernel mode.
Implement sysarch(SPARC_UTRAP_INSTALL).
Add code to handle sharing of the user trap table across forks and unsharing
at exec.
This can be used to implement efficient tracking of floating point register
usage in userland, fe by a thread library, and to handle alignment fault
fixups and instruction emulation in userland, for which the code may need
to be different for 32bit and 64bit binaries.
something wrong with the kernel stack.
Add code to check the kernel stack pointer in various important places
and try hard not to go down in flames if its wrong.
